Angelo Dawkins has become one of the most popular WWE Superstars on the Friday night SmackDown show. He is a part of the Street Profits tag team along with the high-flying Montez Ford. Dawkins and Ford were earlier a part of the WWE NXT show. They then joined the WWE RAW brand and became the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions.
During the WWE Draft 2020, the Street Profits moved to SmackDown. The reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions of that time, the New Day, switched to WWE RAW.
